OpenScience Communication conference in Belgrade (Nov. 24-25)
Section: Research Policy & Development
Date: 24. - 25. November 2022
Citizen science (CS) can play an even broader societal and scientific role than it is generally acknowledged, particularly in critical fields of research in times of multiple crisis, such as energy poverty, health and environmental monitoring.
The panel offers information about upcoming possibilities with a call in the IMPETUS project, which aims to open the door for new stakeholders wanting to try out developing citizen science projects. It illustrates experiences from running initiatives funded in the frame of the STEP CHANGE project (focus is on environment, health, energy) and how a citizen science initiative from Albania where citizen scientists work on the assessment of ecosystem services. Furthermore, the panel sheds light on the opportunities to use citizen science for purposes of science communication by sharing experiences from NEWSERA's #CitSciComm Labs. The panel ends with an invitation to the audience to experiment with CS and by providing suggestions for next steps.
